Bad Weather
Politicians are like weather
That is hanging for decades
Cap in hand we’re light as feather
In the storm that never fades
Who would need a politician
Their household to manage
Yet some do support ambitions
Of the mentally well damaged
Politicians are archaic
Can't shut up their master’s voice
My jack russells bark in panic
I would never make a choice
Choosing not myself

Monkey in a cage
You’ll Pick out everybody’s problems but you wont help your self
You’d rather sit alone in pity then take care of your health
You act like it’s everybody’s fault you’ve got nothing to gain
using Magic capsules to escape your own brain
Can’t give yourself a break so you wanna do it over again
Someone help this monkey

Bad Hair Day
Hair looked wild, got to hide my tattoo,
Because today I have a job interview.
I wear a long sleeve shirt, scarf, and hat,
To hide my dragon-skull and vampire bat.
Went into Blackrock, the secretary smiled,
I wanted to spend time with her a while,
Then she saw the beer stains on my shirt,
Decided she didn't want to flirt.
Talked to

Bad Manicure
No I don't like long nails
And yes my relationships end soon
But it hurts because I care about my relationships more than my nails
The nailpolish doesn't stay on usually
And my acts of love aren't compromised
But the only stain that gets deeper into my heart is of heartache
I bite my nails often
And trust my

The good, the bad, and the ugly
As the world turns and the days go by
life comes in waves of positive and negative
experiences, but occasionally a tsunami will
knock one senseless and it takes a while
for things to calm down and become manageable
again and I am looking forward to that season

Feeling Bad
Never mind,
though people
ignore me
crave not for
their praises
and credits
I feel bad
when people
show me wrong

Bad Trade
Sheep that follow leaders and wear wool,
sadly, often don't live a life that's full
before the part of them that does remain
trades in their wool for cellophane.

I Ain't No Good
I ain’t no good, I don’t do the things I should,
My woman tells me ‘bout it all the time.
What I do wrong, well the list is mighty long,
But my woman seems to know it all by heart.
She got her degree, in what is wrong with me,
First a master’s, then a Ph.D.
She lectures all around, relatin’

I'VE SEEN IT ALL
I've seen it all
Very crystal clear
How people
Judge and condemn
What they don't understand or can't control.
I've seen it all
Without a blurry vision
How people spit at you
When you hit the rock bottom.
I've seen it all
The support is small
When you're building
But very massive
When you start winning.
I've seen it all
I keep contemplating

A Bad Day All Around
I determined to take seize
of a lightning bolt! Paused
at every tree. Flashed and
thundered all about – stood
by every metal post, just
to see if God wanted me.
Went to the nearest church…
prayed for a voice or sign:
and from behind the altar
heard a gulping sound,
pastor draining the sacrament
wine. Not a good day.

How bad can Health food be
Nutritious food, how bad can it be?
I stood in the organic section, wanting to pee.
Aren’t you glad you came with me?
This was my healthy cousin, Little Lulu Lee
I will meet you in the park said her brother Gore
I watched him sneak into the bakery next door
Have to potty, I’ll see you in the park too

Exit music for a bad movie
"Exit music for a bad movie"
that shining kingdom
waits and watches
numbed now to nightmares
its falling cuckold leaders
deliver fools gold
hungry homeless open palms receive
broken promises overflowing
forgotten hymns and collection plates
souls are worth blood in buried pain
borders are drawn all are caged
the marriages not made in heaven
shelved for another day
Candide Diderot. ‘25

bad news on t v
twoo twoo twoo

O the cheerful melody
bad news on t.v.
floods are carried away
Dear children swept like dust

O the cheerful melody
that once filled the camp
there was dancing and crafts
and a chain of hands

O the cheerful melody

The Battles Of A Bad Day's Night
If instinct could alert beforehand;
Reflecting moments as all stand...
The ought process of echoing mind,
For rights to get wrongs tightly bind-
Assign each voice unto confident tears,
Without been paired with fearful glares.
That, would make a day so bleak off sorrow,
And elegant enough to seek anew cum morrow.
If patience could read through broken glass...
Flexing with a system depicted
